/ -- Informa Markets in India ( formerly UBM India ) is all set to bring in the 14th edition of the Food Ingredients India & Health Ingredients (Fi India & Hi) as well as the 2nd edition of ProPak India, - both B2B platforms for the food, health, packaging and processing industries.
Combined together, the shows are optimally positioned to provide industry players an entire array of products and solutions pertaining to food ingredients, processing, technology and packaging under one giant umbrella. While Fi India & Hi offers the industry an opportunity to source high quality ingredients, ProPak India brings within its ambit, packaging solutions pertaining to products from medicines, cosmetics, appliances, industrial systems and machinery, among others.
The co-located expos rotate annually between India's two promising food hubs i.e Mumbai and the Delhi-NCR region.
Speaking on the announcement of both the shows - Fi India and Hi and Propak India, Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director for Informa Markets in India said, "The market for food ingredients is witnessing a visible surge in its valuation owing to the growth in urbanization, growth in the Indian gourmet market which is currently valued at US$ 1.3 billion and growing at a CAGR of 20 %, and the increasing population density, coupled with the rise in the purchasing power of consumers that has led towards rapid uptake of convenience food. The food sector has emerged as a high-growth and high-profit sector due to its immense potential for value addition, particularly within the food processing industry which accounts for 32 per cent of the country's total food market. The food processing industry is one of the largest industries in India and is ranked fifth in terms of production, consumption, export and expected growth. The objective for the 14th edition of Fi India & Hi is to offer an international showcase of such food processing technology and food ingredients and in turn, help leverage India's wide ranging and large raw material base for food processing industries."
He added, "Active and intelligent packaging plays a key role in the preservation of food, hence, enhanced packaging techniques need to be developed that not only boost the shelf life of the product but also sustain the nutritive value of the processed food. This is where ProPak India, the premier processing and packaging expo comes in for the industry, which is co-located with Fi India and Hi. In just its second edition, the expo has grown, bringing in over 130 International and domestic suppliers, along with novel features like a technology summit, an expert zone, a packaging theatre and live product demonstrations. ProPak India will cater to an array of sectors from food to cosmetics to FMCG & Industrial goods and will cater to the entire value chain which will be of immense value to the industry."
